birth control is something the women or men use to prevent pregnancy when engaging in sexual intercourse. The birth control pill, condoms and spermicide, etc I am assuming if you are asking you may be to young, but it never hurts to be informed most of the time you learn about this in sex ed in school around grade 6 maybe where you are this is not offered, please if you are comfortable with your doctor you should speak with him/her parent are good to ask but you may feel funny even if you have a friend's mother help you out, but pleas don't have sex until you are ready this is different for every one but know more about birth control and remember that some forms of contraception do not do anything about preventing Sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, Chlamydia, Herpes to mane a few. Getting a disease can cause death and in some cases render you unable to have future children. Be wise and informed, and take it slow don't be is such a rush to grow up my little darling enjoy the simplicity of youth.

Birth control is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Mechanisms which are intended to reduce the likelihood of the fertilisation of an ovum by a spermatozoon may more specifically be referred to as contraception. Contraception differs from abortion in that the former prevents fertilization, while the latter terminates an already established pregnancy. Methods of birth control which may prevent the implantation of an embryo if fertilization occurs are medically considered to be contraception but characterized by some opponents as abortifacients.
Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically, it is still opposed by many. There are various degrees of opposition, including those who oppose all forms of birth control short of sexual abstinence; those who oppose forms of birth control they deem "unnatural", while allowing natural birth control; and those who support most forms of birth control that prevent fertilisation, but oppose any method of birth control which prevents a fertilized embryo from attaching to the uterus and initiating a pregnancy.

Means U don't have any unplanned kids for the taxpayers to raise and educate. takes around $10,000 to birth a child Takes Near $250.000 to raise the child to 18. U ain't got the $$$ keep yer legs crossed. I'm Damn sick and tired of raising Bastards on welfare with my tax $$$$$. I'm 60 and had No kids...........Don't bring yer brats to my walmart..........W.C Fields " Any man hates kids and dogs can't be all bad". I'm all for retroactive birth control. Any kid don't understand the word NO by 2 yrs old needs to be killed. Any parent that can't teach the word NO by age 2 needs to be sterilized. Your urge to reproduce does not take precidence over my right to not pay for it. U want children? Be able to pay for them before you have them. Then You are obligated to be completely responsible for their actions for at least 18 years. Kinda Awesome isn't it?
Think with yer mind............not yer crotch............
